Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4) to rescind certain budget authority proposed to be rescinded in special messages transmitted to the Congress by the President on June 3, 2025, in accordance with section 1012(a) of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, and for other purposes. is a House bill waiting for floor action. The latest recorded action: Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
Latest action on H.Res. 499: Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
Who this affects: This resolution mainly affects House members deciding whether to cancel the spending authority named in the President’s June 3, 2025 request. It controls their debate time, objections, amendments, and final procedural options. It could later affect programs or people tied to that funding if H.R. 4 passes, but this resolution does not cancel the money itself.
Why this matters: The House’s rules can shape how closely members review proposed spending cuts and how quickly they reach a final vote. This resolution would speed up consideration of H.R. 4 by limiting debate and blocking procedural objections. It would also change the usual process for bills tied to this specific presidential request and approve another House rules measure at the same time.
